Hudson is 5 months old now! This month's big news is that he can sit up. Granted, he is still a little unsteady but as long as he isn't too distracted he will sit up for awhile on his own. This new skill means he never wants to lay down again. Ever. He tries sitting upright every time we put him in his car seat that is a little reclined.
Hudson is 16 pounds 12 ounces which is the 60th percentile for his age.
And he is a whopping 27 1/2 inches long which puts him in the 95th percentile. We have a long baby! He sure doesn't get that from me.
As usual his head circumference is the smallest percentile at 50th based on his 17 inch skull. Perfect sized head.
Hud loves to talk to us in Hudsonese, which is a lot of high pitched noises, grunting and singing. I'm starting to pick up on the translation, but Travis is still struggling.
He sleeps 10-11 hours a night and takes 3-4 naps a day. Hudson is definitely a cuddle bug and we LOVE IT! He also likes hair. I pick him up and his hands go to the pack of my head to grab a handful of hair and anchor himself. I'm learning why moms cut their hair shorter. Along with those grabby hands are sharp nails. He inherited those from his Daddy. No matter how often or short I cut them, they are weapons.
We love our little guy. He is so happy and smiley that everyone comments on it. We are blessed to have such a wonderful baby.
It is fun to watch him learn new skills.
